CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements discuss matters that are not historical facts. Because they discuss future events or conditions, forward-looking statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “may,” “seek,” “plan,” “might,” “will,” “expect,” “predict,” “project,” “forecast,” “potential,” “continue”, negatives thereof or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, are based on various underlying assumptions and current expectations about the future and are not guarantees. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievement to be materially different from the results of operations or plans expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
We cannot predict all of the risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, such information should not be regarded as representations that the results or conditions described in such statements or that our objectives and plans will be achieved and we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are found at various places throughout this Report and include information concerning possible or assumed future results of our operations, including statements about potential acquisition or merger targets; business strategies; future cash flows; financing plans; plans and objectives of management, any other statements regarding future acquisitions, future cash needs, future operations, business plans and future financial results, and any other statements that are not historical facts.
From time to time, forward-looking statements also are included in our other periodic reports on Forms 10-K and 8-K, in our press releases, in our presentations, on our website and in other materials released to the public. Any or all of the forward-looking statements included in this Report and in any other reports or public statements made by us are not guarantees of future performance and may turn out to be inaccurate. These forward-looking statements represent our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors. Many of those factors are outside of our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time than we have described. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Report. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning other matters addressed in this Report and attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this Report.
Except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, a change in events, conditions, circumstances or assumptions underlying such statements, or otherwise.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of expenses in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Key estimates included in the financial statements include the valuation of: deferred income tax assets, equity instruments, stock-based compensation, acquired intangibles, and allowances for accounts receivable.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Overview
We are a specialty pharmaceutical company developing medicines for addiction and drug overdose. We developed NARCAN® (naloxone hydrochloride) Nasal Spray ("NARCAN®"), a treatment to reverse opioid overdose. This product was conceived and developed by us, licensed to Adapt, Pharma Operations Limited (“Adapt”), an Ireland based pharmaceutical companynow a wholly owned Subsidiary of EBS, in December 2014 and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)FDA in November 2015. In October 2018, Emergent BioSolutions, Inc. (“EBS”) completed its acquisition of Adapt.
We have not consistently attained profitable operations and have historically depended upon obtaining sufficient financing to fund our operations. We anticipate if revenues are not sufficient, then additional funding will be required in the form of debt financing and/or equity financing from the sale of our Common Stock, and/or financings from the sale of interests in our prospective products and/or royalty transactions. However, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenues or raise sufficient funding to fund our operations.
We have not had a bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding. We are required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the clinical testing and manufacturing and sale of pharmaceutical products.
Plan of Operation
During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021,2022, we plan to continue to focus on developing medicines in our product pipeline for Opioid Overdose Reversal (“OOR”), Alcohol Use Disorder (“AUD”), Opioid Use Disorder (“OUD”), and Acute Cannabinoid Overdose (“ACO”). Our lead development product is OPNT003 - Nasal Nalmefene for OOR, which is further described below.
OPNT003 - Nasal Nalmefene for OOR
Development Program for OPNT003
In 2017, National Institute of HealthNIH leadership called for the development of stronger, longer-acting formulations of antagonists to counteract the very high potency synthetic opioids that are now claiming thousands of lives each year. We are pursuing a 505(b)(2) development path for OPNT003, with the potential to submit aan NDA with the FDA for the drug and intranasal delivery device combination in the first quartersecond half of 2022. Nalmefene for injection was previously approved by the FDA for treating suspected or confirmed opioid overdose. The 505(b)(2) pathway allows companies to rely in part on the FDA’s findings of safety and efficacy for a previously approved product and to supplement these findings with a more limited set of their own studies to satisfy FDA requirements, as opposed to conducting the full array of preclinical and clinical studies that would typically be required. We have reached agreement with the FDA to perform a pharmacodynamic ("PD") study in healthy volunteers to support our OPNT003 NDA application.
In February 2021, the first patients were dosed in a confirmatory pharmacokinetic (“PK”("PK") study for OPNT003, nasal nalmefene, for the treatment of opioid overdose. In July 2021, we announced positive top-line results from the study. The study was conducted in 68 healthy subjects and compared OPNT003, nasal nalmefene, with an intramuscular nalmefene hydrochloride injection, 1 mg, which was the comparator previously agreed upon with the FDA. According to an initial analysis, the top-line data demonstrated that nasal nalmefene achieved significantly higher plasma concentrations compared to an intramuscular injection (p<0.0001). The time for nasal nalmefene to achieve maximum plasma concentrations (Tmax) was consistent with data from the previously completed pilot study (approximately 15 minutes). The maximum plasma
concentration (Cmax) was higher than observed in the pilot study, and the plasma half-life of nasal nalmefene (approximately 11 hours) was consistent with reported values following other routes (oral and parenteral) of administration.
In April 2021, first subjects were dosed in a head-to-head clinical PDpharmacodynamic ("PD") study comparing the effectiveness of its investigational opioid antagonist OPNT003, nasal nalmefene, with nasal naloxone.
In November 2021, we received Fast Track Designation from the FDA for OPNT003, nasal nalmefene. Fast Track is an FDA process designed to facilitate the development and expedite review of potential therapies that seek to treat serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need. This designation enables early and frequent communication with the FDA, in addition to the potential for a rolling submission of an NDA application.
In February 2022, we announced positive topline results from a multi-dose PK study for OPNT003, nasal nalmefene, for the treatment of opioid overdose. The crossover design study was conducted in 23 healthy subjects comparing the PK profile, safety, and tolerability of OPNT003 when given as a single 3mg dose in one nostril, as a single dose in each nostril, and as two doses in one nostril.
In April of 2022, we announced positive top-line results from our head-to-head PD study comparing OPNT003, nasal nalmefene, to nasal naloxone. A preliminary analysis on the 50 subjects completing the study found that treatment with OPNT003, nasal nalmefene, produced a greater reversal of respiratory depression that was nearly twice that produced by nasal naloxone at five minutes. The increases in minute ventilation were 5.745 L/min and 3.011 L/min, with nalmefene and naloxone, respectively. OPNT003 met the primary endpoint of non-inferiority, which was designed to assess whether nasal nalmefene performed as well or better than nasal naloxone. Completion of the PD study concludes the planned clinical development program for OPNT003.
In May of 2022, we received minutes for the pre-NDA meeting held with the FDA on March 30, 2022. As a feature of the Fast Track designation we received in November of 2021, the FDA noted that our NDA will qualify for a rolling review. However, the FDA cautioned that if it accepts a portion of the application, this does not necessarily mean that review will commence or proceed before the complete application is submitted. Actual commencement and scheduling of review depends on many factors, including staffing, workload, competing priorities, timeline for completing the application, and the perceived efficiency of commencing review before receipt of the complete submission. It is our intention to begin submission of the modules of the NDA as soon as feasible, with completion of the submission in the second half of 2022.
Market and Commercial potential for OPNT003
There is a large and growing addressable market for opioid overdose reversal agents driven by sales into community based and first responder institutions, as well as directly to patients via pharmacies. The current addressable market is substantial, to ensure an opioid overdose reversal agent is available for all first responders, including fire departments, emergency medical services, federal law enforcement, local law enforcement, and other community groups. The co-prescribing of opioid overdose reversal agents alongside prescription opioids has also driven growth. It is estimated that only five percent of patients at higher risk of an opioid overdose have a naloxone prescription. Currently there are only thirteen states that have some form of mandatory co-prescription legislation in place, however several states are considering co-prescribing legislation in the near future.
We have full commercial rights to OPNT003, and we were awarded a grant of approximately $7.4 million from the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”). The grant provides us with additional resources for the ongoing development of OPNT003. WeAs of March 31, 2022, we have been awardedcompleted the entirework associated with the $7.4 million.million grant. We have also received a contract for approximately $4.6$10.3 million from the Biological Advance Research and Development Agency (“BARDA”) to fund development of this project through NDA submission. In December of 2020, BARDA provided an additional commitment of up to $3.5 million. The contract modification increases the total potential value of the BARDA contract to $8.1 million. BARDA has awarded approximately $6.5$8.7 million of the contract through September 30,March 31, 2022, with the balance expected to be funded, subject to satisfactory project progress, availability of funds and certain other conditions.
As we continue to advance OPNT003 towards market approval and should we self-commercialize the product, we anticipate that our sales and marketing expenses will increase in several areas to support the development of a commercial platform that would allow us to commercialize OPNT003, as well as future pipeline products. The development of this commercial infrastructure includes increasing commercial personnel, pre-launch sales and marketing planning activities, establishing the supply chain and distribution. As we build this infrastructure, we are continuing to evaluate the ideal go-to-market strategy that will allow us to maximize the full commercial potential of OPNT003 and shareholder value.
NARCAN® Royalties
We developed NARCAN®, a treatment to reverse opioid overdose. This product was conceived and developed by us, licensed to Adapt, an Ireland based pharmaceutical company in December 2014 and approved by the FDA in November 2015. Emergent BioSolutions, Inc. ("EBS") acquired Adapt in October of 2018 and Adapt became its wholly owned subsidiary. In Julyexchange for licensing our treatment to Adapt ("Adapt Agreement"), we receive up to double-digit percentage royalties on net sales.
On December 22, 2021, Teva launched a generic version of Narcan. In response, EBS through Sandoz Pharmaceuticals launched an authorized generic.
As provided under the Adapt agreement, in each subsequent quarter after the launch of a generic version of Narcan, if net NARCAN® sales on a country-by-country basis decreases by greater than thirty percent when compared to the net NARCAN® sales in the quarter before the quarter of the launch of the generic version of Narcan, then the royalty rate for that quarter is reduced to two percent ("the Generic Reduction Clause"). This calculation is completed separately each quarter.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2022 net sales of NARCAN® were $93.1 million and the Generic Reduction Clause became applicable for net NARCAN® sales in the United States. Net NARCAN® sales in Canada were not subject to the Generic Reduction Clause, as a generic version of Narcan has not been launched in that country. As a result, we hiredrecognized $2.2 million in royalty revenue.
In February 2022, Teva reached a new Chief Commercial Officer$225 million settlement related to buildclaims that Teva contributed to the State of Texas’ opioid crisis and leadTeva agreed to pay $150 million over 15 years, as well as provide $75 million worth of generic Narcan over 10 years. In March 2022, Teva reached a settlement related to claims that Teva contributed to the commercial organization.State of Rhode Island opioid crisis and Teva agreed to pay $21 million over 13 years, as well as provide $62.5 million worth of generic Narcan over 10 years. In March 2022, Teva reached a settlement related to claims that Teva contributed to the State of Florida opioid crisis and Teva agreed to pay $177 million over 15 years, as well as provide $84 million worth of generic Narcan over 10 years.
Free product could have a negative impact on demand of NARCAN®, and thereby reduce the amount of royalties we earn under the Adapt Agreement.
Debt Financing
On December 10, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into a Note Purchase and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with a syndicate of Pontifax Medison Finance, a healthcare-dedicated venture and debt fund, and Kreos Capital VI (Expert Fund) LP (each a(collectively, the “Lender”).
The Loan Agreement provides for term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $50.0 million in three tranches as follows: (a) on the Closing Date, a loan in the aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million, (b) upon the submission of a new drug application ("NDA")New Drug Application with the FDA,U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a loan in the aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million, and (c) upon FDA approval of an opioid overdose product, a loan in the aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million (each a “Loan, and collectively, the “Loans”).
The outstanding principal of each term Loan bears an average interest rate of 8.75% per annum based on the date of issuance and a year consisting of 365 days. There is an interest-only period of 30 months, with interest on outstanding Loans payable on a quarterly basis based on the principal amount outstanding during the preceding quarter. After the interest-only period, principal of the outstanding Loans is payable in ten equal quarterly installments. All Loans have a maturity date of October 1, 2025.
Each Lender may, at its option, elect to convert up to half of the then-outstanding Loans and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon into shares our Common Stock. The Conversion Price shall be“Conversion Price” is $19.64 per share subject to certain customary adjustments as specified in the Loan Agreement.
Our obligations are secured by a security interest, senior to any current and future debts and to any security interest, in all of Company’s right, title, and interest in, to and under all of our property and other assets, other than its NARCAN® Nasal Spray licensed intellectual property and other limited exceptions specified in the Loan Agreement.
The Loan Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants by us limiting additional indebtedness, liens, including on intellectual property, guaranties, mergers and consolidations, substantial asset sales, investments and loans, certain corporate changes, transactions with affiliates and fundamental changes. The Loan Agreement provides for events of default customary for term loans of this type, including but not limited to non-payment, breaches or defaults in the performance of covenants, insolvency, bankruptcy and the occurrence of a material adverse effect on the Company.
On December 10, 2020, we received the first tranche of $20 million.
Impact of COVID-19 on our Business
The spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus ("COVID-19") since the fourth quarter of 2019 has caused an economic downturn on a global scale, as well as significant volatility in the financial markets.
Due to stay at home orders both in the United States and United Kingdom, we have instituted a work-from-home plan for our employees. We have ensured that all employees have essential resources to work from home.
We have not experienced a significant financial impact directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of September 30,March 31, 2022 the Lenders elected to convert approximately $5.7 million of debt to Common Stock at a conversion price of $19.64 per share.
Financing
On August 13, 2021, we have cash, cash equivalents,entered into an Controlled Equity OfferingSM (the "Sales Agreement") with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. ("Cantor"), as agent, pursuant to which we may offer and marketable securitiessell, from time to time through Cantor, shares of $50.4 million. our Common Stock. From April 29 through May 4, 2022, we sold 7,410 shares of Common Stock and raised net proceeds of approximately $147,000 under the Sales Agreement.
We believe that we have sufficient capital resources to sustain operations through at least the next 12 months from the date of the filing of this Report. As a result of this financial position, we have not required any financial assistance under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act or other similar COVID-19 related federal and state programs or United Kingdom financial assistant programs. We have no plans to furlough any employees at this time.
We have not experienced a significant operational impact on OPNT003 or OPNT004 programs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, although we cannot rule out future delays. We executed the cooperative research and development agreement (“CRADA”) with the National Institute of Health’s National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (“NCATS”) and will collaborate to formulate OPNT004 for human studies.
However, we decided in April 2020 to pause the start of recruitment for our OPNT002 planned Phase 2 study. Our decision follows the COVID-19 related state of emergency declarations in the United Kingdom and across Europe where our study was to take place. We have adequate cash allocated to fund the cost of our Phase 2 study in OPNT002 and will continue to monitor the situation closely.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We believe that the following critical policies affect our significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements.
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These principals require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable and have been discussed with the Board; however, actual results could differ from those estimates.
We issue options and warrants to consultants, directors, and officers as compensation for services. These options and warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which focuses on the current stock price and the volatility of moves to predict the likelihood of future stock moves. This method of valuation is typically used to accurately price stock options and warrants based on the price of the underlying stock.
Fair value estimates used in preparation ofWe capitalize our office space operating leases under ASC 842. We use best available information to determine the financial statements are based upon certain market assumptionsdiscount rate, which can have significant variability and pertinent information available to management. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivablerequires management assessment and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand.judgment.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update ("ASU”), 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and is based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. On January 1, 2018, we adopted the new Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the modified retrospective method, and we determined the new guidance does not change our policy of revenue recognition. Our primary source of revenue is through the recognition of royalty and milestone payments from EBS. Milestone revenue is recognized upon successful accomplishment of certain sales targets set forth in the license agreement between us and EBS. Royalty revenue is determined based on the agreed upon royalty rate applied to NARCAN® sales reported by EBS. There are no performance obligations by us and we recognize revenue according to the royalty report provided to us by EBS on a quarterly basis.
In June 2018, the FASB issued guidance clarifying the revenue recognition and measurement issues for grants, contracts, and similar arrangements, ASU Topic 958. Government grants and contracts are agreements that generally provide cost reimbursement for certain types of expenditures in return for research and development activities over a contractually defined period. We evaluated our grant with NIH and contract with BARDA and determined they are non-exchange transactions and fall within the scope of ASU 958, and revenue should be recognized in accordance with Topic 958 guidance. Accordingly, we recognize revenue from our grant and contract in the period during which the related costs are incurred, provided that the conditions under which the grant and contract were provided have been met and only perfunctory performance obligations are outstanding.
Licensing Agreement
Pursuant to the license agreement between us and EBS, we provided a global license to develop and commercialize our intranasal naloxone opioid overdose reversal treatment, now known as NARCAN®. We receive payments upon reaching various sales and regulatory milestones, as well as royalty payments for commercial sales of NARCAN® generated by EBS.
Effect of Inflation
Inflation did not have a significant impact on our net sales, revenues, or income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.2021.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We reviewed accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. We have carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and do not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on our reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our
financial management and certain standards are under consideration. Those standards have been addressed in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein, and in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements in the Annual Form 10-K and in the Form 10-K itself.
Net Profit Interests
NARCAN®
We have entered into agreements with certain investors whereby, in exchange for funding for the research, development, marketing and commercialization of a product relating to our treatment to reverse opioid overdoses (the “Opioid
Overdose Reversal Treatment Product or OORTP), we provided such investors with an interest in any pre-tax profits received by us that were derived from the sale of the OORTP less any and all expenses incurred by and payments made by us in connection with the OORTP, including but not limited to an allocation of our overhead devoted by us to product-related activities, which allocation shall be determined in good faith by us (the “OORTP Net Profit”).
A summary of the investor agreements is below, and categorized by investor:
Potomac Construction Limited (“Potomac”)

On May 15, 2014, we entered into an agreement with Welmers (the “Welmers Agreement”) and received funding from Welmers in the amount of $300 thousand for use by us for any purpose, in exchange for a 1.5% interest in the OORTP Net Profit in perpetuity.
Valour Fund, LLC (“Valour”)
On July 22, 2014, we received a $3.0 million commitment from a foundation (the “Foundation”) which later assigned its interest to Valour, from which we had the right to make capital calls from the Foundation for the research, development, marketing, commercialization and any other activities connected to the Opioid Overdose Reversal Treatment Product, certain operating expenses and any other purpose consistent with the goals of the Foundation. In exchange for funds invested by the Foundation, Valour currently owns a 6.0% interest in the OORTP Net Profit in perpetuity.
Royalty Payable
We entered into various agreements and subsequently received funding from certain investors for use by us for any purpose. In exchange for this funding, we agreed to provide certain investors with interest in the OORTP Net Profit generated from net NARCAN® Nasal Spray sales by EBS.

PART II— OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
On February 12, 2020, Emergent BioSolutions, Inc. ("EBS") and the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Perrigo UK FINCO Limited Partnership ("Perrigo") to resolve the ongoing litigation. Under the terms of the settlement, Perrigo received a non-exclusive license under the Company's patents licensed to EBS to make, have made and market its generic naloxone hydrochloride nasal spray under its own ANDA. Perrigo’s license will be effective as of January 5, 2033 or earlier under certain circumstances including circumstances related to the outcome of the current litigation against Teva or litigation against future ANDA filers.
On June 5, 2020, the District Court for the District of New Jersey entered a decision in the patent litigation regarding NARCAN® (naloxone HCl) Nasal Spray 4mg/spray product, and ruled in favor of Teva. The Company and EBS have appealed the decision to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
On August 2, 2021, a panel consisting of three appeals-court judges held a hearing on EBS’s appeal of the New Jersey District Court’s decision. A decision byFebruary 10, 2022, the Court of Appeals is expectedfor the Federal Circuit affirmed the decision by the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey in the fourth quarterfavor of 2021 or early 2022.
Teva.
On June 11, 2020, the Company and EBS received from Teva Canada Limited a Notice of Allegation and Detailed Statement, stating that Teva had filed an Abbreviated New Drug Submission with the Canadian Minister of Health for the issuance of a Notice of Compliance for naloxone hydrochloride in the strength of 4 mg/0.1 ml for nasal administration. Teva’s Notice of Allegation and Detailed Statement asserted that its proposed generic product will not infringe Canadian Patent No. 2,942,611 and/or that Canadian Patent No. 2,942,611 is invalid or void. Canadian Patent No. 2,942,611 expires on March 16, 2035. On July 23, 2020, the Company and EBS filed a Statement of Claim in Case Number T-798-20 in Toronto, Ontario, which alleges that Teva’s product would infringe Canadian Patent No. 2,942,611.
On January 21, 2022, the Plaintiffs and Teva Canada Limited entered into a settlement agreement to resolve the ongoing litigation. Under the terms of the settlement, Teva Canada can launch a generic NARCAN® after December 15, 2023. This date can be accelerated if a third party receives approval from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency prior to this date.
Except as described above, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or other body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company, the Company’s Common Stock, any of the Company’s subsidiaries or the Company’s subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
We have included in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K, a description of certain risks and uncertainties that could affect our business, future performance or financial condition (the “Risk Factors”). ThereWith the exception of the following, there are no material changes from the disclosure provided in the Form 10-K with respect to the Risk Factors. Investors should consider the Risk Factors prior to making an investment decision with respect to our stock.
Potential impact of the war in Ukraine
In February of 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine with war throughout the country continuing on a widespread basis. During January 2022, we dosed the first patient in a Phase 2 clinical trial for OPNT002, Nasal Naltrexone for Alcohol Use Disorder. This trial is a double blind, placebo controlled Phase 2 study, aiming to enroll 300 patients in various European countries including in eastern Europe, and the United Kingdom. If the war in Ukraine escalates and affects eastern European countries, such as Poland, we may need to suspend the Phase 2 clinical trial at any such sites, which could delay the results from the trial.
The market for our products is rapidly changing and competitive, and new drugs, which may be developed by others, could impair our ability to maintain and grow our business and remain competitive.
The pharmaceutical industry is subject to rapid and substantial technological change. Developments by others may render our technologies and products noncompetitive or obsolete. We also may be unable to keep pace with technological developments and other market factors. Technological competition from medical device, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, universities, governmental entities and others diversifying into the field is intense and is expected to increase. Many of these entities have significantly greater research and development capabilities and budgets than we do, as well as substantially more marketing, manufacturing, financial and managerial resources. These entities represent significant competition for us.
In addition, Teva launched a generic version of Narcan on December 22, 2021. In February 2022, Teva reached a $225 million settlement related to claims that Teva contributed to the State of Texas’ opioid crisis and Teva agreed to pay $150
million over 15 years, as well as provide $75 million worth of generic Narcan over 10 years. In March 2022, Teva reached a settlement related to claims that Teva contributed to the State of Rhode Island opioid crisis and Teva agreed to pay $21 million over 13 years, as well as provide $62.5 million worth of generic Narcan over 10 years. In March 2022, Teva reached a settlement related to claims that Teva contributed to the State of Florida opioid crisis and Teva agreed to pay $177 million over 15 years, as well as provide $84 million worth of generic Narcan over 10 years.
With a generic version of Narcan now on the market generally and in addition, if these types of settlement based on Texas, Rhode Island and Florida were to become a precedent for other states that have litigation with Teva and free generic Narcan became widely available, the demand for our nasal nalmefene for OOR may be negatively impacted.
